Linux and the Maytag Repairman
Linux compared to the Maytag Repairman
In summary, IT consultants don’t deploy Linux because deploying Windows gets them more customers and repeat business. Windows requires more IT support than Linux.
If you are a Linux consultant, you must have many more clients to make a living, which means more effort acquiring the clients.
With Linux systems, once they are deployed, they just work and continue to work. For many systems, even patches are handled automatically with no need for onsite support. The only reason to call your Linux consultant is to upgrade a system to a new release OR for a hardware failure.
I don’t know whether any of these statements are completely true, but there is some fact in each of them.
